Calamity

Tooltip

Calls forth a great Calamity, striking all players for 30% of their maximum health as Shadow damage. This also removes Shadow Word: Bane from all targets.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

Calamity is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 143493. Its area radius is 100 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4.

What it does

Calamity is a spell with a 5 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster), a 4 sec cooldown and effects that last 4 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70631. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
